Description

This is nearly the right-most climb on the wall, with the exception of a junky-looking blunt arete. Descend 150 meters from the parking lot to the wall and walk to a line of bolts perhaps 4 meters left of the right-hand edge of the main buttress. A line of 5 bolts leads to chains up top.

The climbing is mostly positive and is a reasonable warm up, although I found this route just a little more slick than its immediate neighbors.

It may have been a 10a when it was first bolted, but now with the rounded and polished holds it feels more difficult. Todd Perkins has rebolted it with glue in wave-bolts and thus protects much safer than in the past and is an OK alternative if the other (and better) 5.10s to the left are occupied.

I found this climb to be a little inconsistent. Hard start, kind of an awkward crux in the middle, and then really nice big holds near the top. Drift to the right around the bulge at the top rather than trying to go right over it. I liked tombstone bullets better than this climb and they seemed about similar in difficulty to me.

The crux on this one was a thinker for me. After I finally made it, I was pretty pumped and very grateful for the huecos above. There's also a fun little horizontal fist jam near the top. Great route! For extra fun, try traversing right and downclimbing Sands of Blood instead of lowering.
